That song is pretty awesome! Very good editing job if it's actually from a longer jam. What's so great about the rhythm circuit for tremolo picking? Genuine question since I never use mine and play a lot of post rock sort of stuff.

Fuck yeah, tremolo picking.
FUCK YEAH, POST ROCK.

slap some verb and delay on that shit and it's cream-worthy.

I don't have any delay at the moment
But I was just doing Jazzmaster with rhythm circuit -> Fuck -> Arion Flanger -> Hall of fame (church mode, decay maxed).
Sounded pretty damn good. Now if I add an El cap to that with degrading repeats... then I would probably cream myself. (gross)

Took the brightness of the attack and sound overall, which to me made it sound like blooming tones rather than simply strings being hit over and over again. Similar result with the tone knob turned down low, but the rhythm circuit with the tone down low sounded better to me.

Yeah, it does have that sort of dull sound, I just never really found a use for it cos I like sounding aggressive and trebly. Definitely going to try that with some delay/verb, thanks for the idea!

What I posted was one of the versions we recorded yesterday. His editing job was very good though, he made up this whole structure out of a behemoth of recorded jam.
The thing about this song is that I am (maybe due to technical limitations) a great fan of simplicity in music. When I write songs they often don't even have a different refrain, other than the words being repeated and sung with a different melody and that's why I am sort of puzzled about this. On one hand I love the song, but on the other it's seems like pure artisanship to have different parts all over the place. But then again maybe I should just accept that somehow I slipped into a band with this art rock kinda mindset and go with the flow. Living is learning after all. But I do wonder if the many parts in it add or substract from the effect of the song.

well, it's not that complicated; it's a verse/chorus structure with a key change to a middle section and a reprise of the original theme at the end. whoever edited the original down from a long jam gets--and i choose this quite deliberately--the Holger Czukay T-Shirt award for editing. simplicity is good; variety is good too. when you put fairly simple segments and instrumental parts together in ways that make a greater whole, that's the best of both worlds. after all, wouldn't "Hey Jude" be kind of dull if all there was was the "na na na NA NA NA naaaaaa" part?

Daria is the best show ever.

Hey Jude IS kind of dull.

I've never eaten pistachio ice cream that way, but it sounds really good right now. I haven't even had breakfast yet.

Replace the chocolate syrup with something like this, and I'm in:

It wasn't like Hersey chocolate Syrup or anything, but yeah that does look way better.

You mean there's more to it than that?

Remembered to do my homework the morning it's due

Now one of my classes is cancelled, my first one is my easy class(Instructor is playing the clip of the little girls singing with Niki Minaj (sp?)), the other is a discussion on political theory and we start our unit on anarchy today. It's gonna be an easy day.

Daria's pretty good, but it's no Beavis & Butthead. Which reminds me, new Beavis and Butthead premiers tonight, I hope it's good.

It's up there in my tops. Also, I own this guy.


My day has been a mix of boredom and contentedness. It's nice to sit around and do nothing for a day, for once.
